Indudablemente este libro es muy superior al anterior. Me ha encantado todooo excepto el fucking Emperador que espero tenga un final horrible y por supuesto que no he podido llorar más con la muerte de Larel, no lo vi venir y ha sido lo más doloroso que ha pasado en el libro. Me consoló mucho saber que a lo largo del libro Vhalla fuera haciendo muchos más amigos a lo largo del camino y que Aldrik siempre estuviera ahí para ella.

I almost dnf’d several times. The FMC and MMC have zero chemistry or reasons to like each other which was dealt with a miscommunication trope but doesn’t explain the lack of emotional or logical reasons they would like each other. On top of that, all the characters were flat and no one’s motivations to drive the plot were compelling. I kept thinking it would get better. I read up to chapter 6 in the next book and decided this could have all been an email and I’d like to unsubscribe.

Now considered property of the Solaris Empire, Vhalla is forced to go to war. But, does she want to be there? Banning together with her new friends Fritz and Laurel, she starts to come into her powers while trying to battle with her feelings for Aldrik. It’s so interesting to see Vhalla truly learn her powers, her limits and that she can be both the empires pet and her own being. Her starting to find herself is one of the most beautiful journeys I’ve ever seen! I truly loved this book, it’s not my favorite in the series, but it’s a great building block to the rest.

I'm so busy I barely even have time to take a peek here, let alone read. Ugh. Two more weeks, just two more weeks and I'M FREE!


Mini review to come soon.

This was terrible. I liked Vhalla in Air Awakens, because she was just a library apprentice who didn't know any better. But Vhalla in this one? Annoying at best, absolutely infuriating at worst.
You don't just hit the prince of your empire, no matter how mean he's being. And you certainly don't cry at every single opportunity you get, making your friends comfort you at all times without ever giving anything back. She's an awful friend, and a terrible person in general here.

Now, then we have the Mary Sue aspect. Literally every male character in this book likes Vhalla for whatever reason. Except the Emperor. Because he's Mean and Evil and Hates Her. And Fritz. Because he's gay. And all of that despite her constantly crying about how terrible and bad she looks and how she never eats or sleeps and wah wah wah yadda yadda.

Let's not mention mysteriously disappearing wounds - she got her limb broken, her back sliced open deeply, etc etc. and it's never mentioned again. This needed at least 3 more rounds of editing before being a finished product, let's be real.

At least Fritz and David (is that even his name? It was so forgettable) exist. But by how this is going, Fritz is the next to die and David will get his heart broken after being the support Vhalla needs, probably. Then maybe he'll also die. We'll see.

Still not in love. But again I’ve already purchased the entire series so I’ll probably read all 5. 

Starting to wonder if we have a last airbender inspired story.
